This Office opines that Mayor Buquing was exonerated for the charge of violation of R.A. 3019. However, he was not exonerated for the charge of Simple Misconduct. The Aguinaldo Doctrine or Doctrine of condonation does not warrant the payment of backwages because it only bars the imposition of the administrative sanction on Mayor Buquing. In short, he was not found innocent of the charge for simple misconduct. Hence, Mayor Buquing is not entitled to receive backwages during the period of his preventive suspension because he was not fully exonerated of the charges against him. This is a legal opinion; parties are not precluded from seeking legal opinion from higher authorities. We hope that we have addressed your concern accordingly. Very truly yours, boft"^'v MANrlEr V. BTASON, CESO ill fleeional Director I
